Sanders smiled and said, "It wasn't me, my friend. It was the Holy Spirit working through a yielded vessel." That experience reinforced Sanders' understanding of spiritual leadership, which he later wrote about in his book: "The primary evidence of the Holy Spirit's work in a leader is not his wisdom, nor his administrative ability, nor his oratory skills, but his Christlikeness."

After the meeting, Sanders was approached by a man who said, "Dr. Sanders, I was present at that meeting today. I was a hardened skeptic, but something happened to me. I felt the presence of God in a way I never have before."
Sanders' conversion experience was marked by a deep sense of repentance and a hunger for spiritual growth. He devoured the Scriptures, and his life was transformed by the power of the Holy Spirit. He soon felt called to full-time ministry, and he went on to serve as a pastor, evangelist, and writer.
